Book Description HTML

The Privateersman: First published in 2013. Dorset lad Tom Andrews escapes the hangman’s noose only to find himself shanghaied onto a Caribbean-bound privateering ship, before he and crewmate Joseph, flee to America carrying illicit booty. They prosper in the vile corruptness of New York - a town destined to be on the losing side in the Revolutionary War. Betrayed and forced to return to England, they seek riches in the early industrial boom. Tom relishes wealth, but also secretly yearns for love and social acceptance. His hopes rise on meeting the beautiful daughter of an impoverished aristocrat. "This may be the first book I have read non-stop since 1985." - Online review (Average web-wide review rating: 4.5 stars out of 5)

    i don't know who rated this book, but if it takes 10 pages for you to realize this is a ridiculous attempt at being called a book, i would be surprised, It doesn't even seem like the author can speak english, and it is honestly worse than a sixth grade attempt at a short story. It might be worth reading just to laugh at how horrible it is, and it wont take long, because there are only about 40 words on each page.
